Discovering Information
at the Network Edge
The Embark Network DNS Resolution
Architecture allows information on the millions of PCs
at the edges of the Internet to be discovered. Using
any standard web browser, authorized guests may view
a FlipStream web site hosted on a userís personal computer.
PC Desktop Security
Running the FlipStream application
adds no incremental risk to subscriber desktops. Various
levels of security are deployed throughout the system,
depending on the nature of the interactions, parties
involved, and data being transmitted. Interoperability
with firewall solutions ensures that no hacker will
be able to breech the usersí machine and manipulate,
steal, or destroy subscriber data. Furthermore, SSL
and certificates are used to respect user privacy and
provide a secure end-to-end connection for the transmission
of sensitive information.
Server-Side Scalability
The Embark Network Administration
Server allows organizations to scale their network as
their subscriber base grows. New engines may be added
to the system to achieve near linear scaling. The server
uses a DNS-like model, where individuals or groups of
Subscribers may be directed to a specific server farm.
Multiple servers may be used with load balancing hardware
and software and database servers may be clustered to
optimize performance.
